Is Christian Chivalry Your Calling?

The Knights Templar of Australia is more than an organisation.

It is a community of Christians committed to faith, service, formation, and honour.

Before beginning an enquiry, we invite you to consider whether this path aligns with your values, beliefs, and aspirations.

A visual diagram titled 'The Journey of Formation' depicting seven steps of becoming a knight or dame in the Knights Templar of Australia. Each step has an icon, a title, a description, and a related photograph. The steps are: 1. Enquiry — a hand writing with a pen; 2. Introductory Discussion — two men talking; 3. Postulant — a man reading a book; 4. Companion at Arms — three men in discussion; 5. Squire — a man writing at a desk with a cross on the wall; 6. Investiture — an altar with candles and a cross; 7. Knight or Dame — a smiling man and woman outdoors. The diagram emphasizes faith, service, and personal growth, ending with the phrase "Not just an honour, but a lifetime of service."
